I asked this lady once, who said something similar to everyone but always cooked awesome food .. When we became friends , I asked her subtly why women from Pakistan dont feel proud of their cooking skills ..

She said she was under the impression that women abroad are very modern and dont go into the kitchen much and also in Pakistan, the cooks and kaam wali’s are readily available to do the cooking , so its like a common thing now that girls who dont know how to cook are considered “modern”

Till date, I have been unable to understand what being “modern” has to to with “cooking skills” .. I do wonder occasionally , if cooking is seen as a nokar’s task in desi culture?

that is true! i’m from pakistan too but not everyone have cook…we have maids for cleaning n laundry n washing dishes…but we used to cook khana…when our relatives visit from abroad they always request for pulao biryani chapli kababs i mean desi food…while me n sis were always experimenting on nondesi cuisine(not for guests)…

@polished_gems

I’m curious what dishes do they make? What does a newbie bride from Pakistan menu look like, if you don’t mind sharing?

when i came to middleeast after wedding…some friends invited us n they cooked all desi food biryani kababs kheer and qorma…so i dropped my plan for desi menu!..when we invited them(the very next day) i cooked zeera rice with mint n coriander chopped in it with baked garlic chicken with white sauce and baked mashed potatoes…peach cobbler for dessert…they had all these for the first time n they loved it lol so i was relaxed…
and when we invited them few months later again…they requested for same menu:D
